Old Fashion Baptisms in Marietta Long Ago

There was a pond off Bells Ferry Road on Old Bells Road that was used for Baptisms for nearby Shady Groves Baptist Church.  The terrain of land looked something like the pictre.  It might be it.  The picture was said to be Baptisms in Marietta, it just didn't point out where.

Which reminds me of a picture I recently saw on the Internet of a young lady, who had just been Baptised, walking out of a pond in a wet white dress.  Evidently she didn't think to wear under garments.  It was like she was the winner of a wet-t-shirt contest.


On a side note, one time I went to a wedding of my friend Tony at the house on Old Bells Ferry Road that was beside the Baptism Pond.

Visiting the Marietta Museum of History Aviation Wing

A few years ago Marietta Museum of Hisotry took on the enormous task of collecting airplanes. All the planes shown on this post are planes consigned to the Marietta Museum of History. As I understand it, no planes were actually donated. They are all on loan from various military and private institutions. Why don't you pay them a visit? It is next to the Dobbins/Lockheed complex, behind the Federal Credit Union, next door to the Haunted House on the base.
























Wow! Have you ever seen such a cute killing machine? It is a missle that looks like a plastic toy. I would like to have something like that myself. I would be the envy of the neighborhood.








This thing has a huge wingspan. I couldn't even back up enogh to get it all in.




Hmmmm. I thought it was over there where I was a few minutes ago.













There it is again! I think it is a heat seeking missle! I think it wants to follow me home.

Above is a Google Earth satellite photo of Marietta Museum of History, Aviation Section, probably taken over a year ago. I think there are more planes there now.

At several Marietta Museum of History lectures, CEO Dan Cox has given reports of the progress of the Aviation section. They have gained a bunch of planes and have been promised more.

Mr Cox said the museum does not own any of the planes, they are on loan from the various agencies.

Earlier today I was in the area and decided to drive up close to the fence, get out, and take some pictures of the present aviation inventory. Just as I started clicking I heard a car behind me. I turned around. A man in civilian clothes sitting in a red convertible was looking at me.


“Sir, you are not allowed to take pictures in this facility!”

I said something like, “This is part of the Marietta Museum.”

“Sir, you are not allowed to take pictures in this facility!”

Well, it is on the property of Dobbins AFB and Lockheed. And besides, I didn’t know if I was trying to reason with a machine or an asshole.
